Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton who owns another Blue Peter dog Barney said “when you join blue peter you join a family and Lucy was a loyal and loving member of that family unit” “I no the viewers miss her as much as we already do” Everyone remembers when Presenters Gethin Jones and Andy Akinwolere were soaked a few years ago when they tried to bathe Lucy for the programme!
